After the first game, Rove ranked first among all warriors with a high score of ninety-four.
The excited Hufflepuff badgers dragged him and celebrated until late into the night, so that Rolf didn't get up very late the next day.
In the morning, he walked into the auditorium carrying a black suitcase and immediately became the center of attention. Everyone's eyes were fixed on him.
Students all know that Luo Fu is very powerful, but when it comes to how powerful he is, everyone has different opinions, and there is no accurate standard of measurement.
But this Triwizard Tournament allowed everyone to truly see how terrifying Rolf was.
Krum - an international superstar - was trumpeted loudly before the game; Harry Potter - the Boy Who Lived - was even more popular to win the championship in Rita's article.
But in the end, both of them only had 54 points. Compared with Rove, the gap is not as big as usual.
All I can say is that I was in trouble before the game and was a weakling on the field.
Ron Weasley and his like only have four points. No matter how hard they work, they will surpass Rove's fraction.
Rolf was about to walk towards the Hufflepuff table when he heard someone calling his name. He turned around and saw that it was Hermione.
Hermione did not stay at the Gryffindor table, but sat at the Ravenclaw table with Shirley, and waved at him vigorously, beckoning him to come over.
Rolf turned and walked to the Ravenclaw table, sat down next to Shirley, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I want to discuss something with you!" Hermione held a box in her hand. She shook it vigorously in front of Rove's eyes, causing the contents of the box to rattle.
Rolph glanced at it and saw a bunch of badges in the box, with different colors and the same letters written on them.
He picked up a badge from the box, looked at it carefully, and asked knowingly: "What is this?"
Hermione said excitedly, "...—House Elf Rights Promotion Association, this is a charity organization I just founded at midnight last night."
"I originally wanted to name it a movement to ban the cruel treatment of our biological friends and improve their legal status, but after thinking about it, it felt inappropriate."
Hermione danced and said: "So I made this the title of our organization's manifesto."
Rolf snorted and nodded: "It's good. Hogwarts lacks entertainment activities. Developing personal interests and hobbies can not only kill time, but also provide leisure and entertainment."
"I'm not having fun, I'm doing serious work!" Hermione raised an eyebrow and said with a straight face:
"After I heard you say that house elves were slaves of wizards yesterday, I went to the library to check the information.
I wouldn’t know if I didn’t look it up, but I was shocked when I looked it up. I didn’t expect that house elves have become slaves for thousands of years.
The British Muggle government passed the "Abolition of Slavery Act" in 1833. Unexpectedly, the wizarding world is approaching the 21st century, and there are still a large number of slaves.
I can't believe no wizard has done something about this..."
"Hermione, of course someone took measures." Rove corrected gently but accurately:
"As early as a thousand years ago, Hufflepuff established the House Elf Resettlement Office to collect abandoned and disabled house elves and provide them with shelter and food.
There wasn't even a Ministry of Magic at that time, it was still the time of the Wizards' Council, and she rescued many house elves and placed them in Hogwarts."
"My grandfather also promoted the guidelines for the rights of house elves to ensure the treatment of house elves."
"But this set of policies is not enforced by the Ministry of Magic, is it?" Hermione glared:
"The treatment of house elves has not been substantially changed. They are still slaves, and there are still a large number of reports every year about house elves being brutally tortured and killed.
I saw the photos on the news, and they were really shocking... We should find a way to abolish house-elf slavery."
"There are no wizards who have tried to abolish house-elf slavery before," Rolf said.
"As early as 1973, a number of famous wizards jointly launched the Protest Against House-Elf Slavery. Do you know why this protest was eventually dismissed?"
"Why?"
"Because a large number of house elves took the initiative to stand up and oppose this protest case." Rolf said softly.
"The house elves don't want to be free, they want to be slaves."
"That's because they are uneducated and have been indoctrinated with some wrong ideas!" Hermione said excitedly.
"This involves another issue." Luofu said seriously:
"As I told you, in the ancient kingdom of wizards, those wizards used their powerful bloodline to combine with animals on the earth to create many magical creatures as livestock for them to raise in captivity.
We humans, centaurs, giants, goblins, and house elves were all once slaves of ancient wizards."
"After the doomsday catastrophe, our ancestors transformed from slaves to become the new masters of the world."
Luofu paused for a moment and continued:
"And the house elves - as the most perfect slaves of the ancient wizards - possess the ultimate servility and obedience, and they became our slaves.
They are bound by the magic of ancient wizards, and servility is their instinct and nature, as natural as breathing.
No matter how you educate yourself, this instinct cannot be changed unless you can unlock the magic of the ancient wizard."
Hermione frowned and said, "So, you mean to do nothing and let the house elves continue to be enslaved for a thousand years?"
"That's not true." Rolf shook his head. "Although we are not capable of breaking the magic of ancient wizards, we can appeal to everyone to treat house elves well and improve their treatment."
It is said to be an appeal to everyone to be kind to house elves, but in fact it is more of an appeal to pure-blood families to be kind to house elves.
In a poor wizard's home, there are no house elves at all, so there is no talk of kindness or abuse.
An average family has one or two house elves, and they won't abuse them, because they are an important "labor force". If they are abused, who will do the work?
Just like farmer uncles, they generally don’t abuse their cattle, and they always provide them with delicious food and drink!
Similarly, if the Weasley family had a house elf, let alone beatings and scoldings, their status would probably be higher than that of Ron!
Most of the people who really abuse house elves are ancient pure-blood families like Malfoy and Black.
Their family was rich and they didn't care about killing a few house elves, so the abuse became a habit.
Hearing what Rolf said, Hermione's mood rose again, and she said excitedly:
"Yes, we need to improve the treatment of house elves.
We believe that we must first develop membership. Participants have to pay two silver coins - used to buy badges - and this income can be used for us to print and distribute leaflets.
You are the treasurer, Rove - I prepared a piggy bank for you - Shirley, you are the secretary, you need to write down everything I say now as a record of our first meeting.
"
Rolf and Shirley looked at each other, and the young man sighed softly: "Hermione, do you think anyone would spend two Sicos to buy your shoddy badge?"
Hermione was at a loss for words. She spent a long time in Gryffindor selling it in the morning, but no one bought it.
"I have a way to help you sell it." Luo Fu smiled.
"What can I do?" Hermione asked curiously.
"You tell them that for every ten people who join the guild and buy our badge worth two Sicos, they will be rewarded with one galleon." Luo Fu said with a smile:
"Believe it or not, it won't be long before the entire Hogwarts is a pyramid scheme for the rights of our house elves...ah, bah, we will be members of the Promotion Association."
